Description
Super Dungeon Explore (SDE) is a dungeon crawler inspired by old Japanese console RPGs. The 52 included miniatures are done in a cute / chibi / super-deformed style, which means the head is roughly the same size as the rest of the body.
One to five players take the role of classic fantasy heroes like the human paladin, a dwarf fighter, or an elf ranger. One player is the "Dark Consul" who controls the monsters of the dungeon. Every hero/monster has a character card that details the stats for movement, attack, armor, willpower, dexterity, action points and hearts (= life points). Additional information may include special abilities / actions / attacks and potions.
The game is played on modular dungeon boards. During a round of play, the game passes back and forth between single heroes and the monsters, but the exact order may change from round to round. The characters use the stats from their character card, special dice (with hearts, potions and stars) are only used for combat and checks. If the heroes wound the opponent, they may draw loot cards to improve their stats. There is also the possibility to open treasure chests to find even more powerful things. The monsters have no possibility to "level up" apart from a single late game upgrade but the Dark Consul has an unlimited number of them.
To win the game, the Dark Consul must defeat all heroes in his dungeon. The heroes must spawn the dungeon boss by killing monsters or destroying all spawning points (= entry points for new monsters). The heroes must then kill the dungeon boss to be victorious.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- miniatures — It's obviously very influenced by miniatures and it's made by a company that makes primarily miniatures.
- One vs. Many — This is a game where one player controls all the monsters and the baddies and that'll probably end up being me and all the rest of the players will be controlling heroes.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's a different kind of game. Now, I mean, the game itself is a euro game, the style of it, and that is not particularly unique, but it's set in the Dungeons and Dragons universe and that theme is definitely a part of the game and that is something that is a bit different.
- There are no dice in this game, so it's it's quite different.
- Giving them a visual medium through video is a way to break down that challenge.
- So um, you know, our series will continue to be about playing games and showing you that gameplay and helping you make decisions, but it's opening up other doors for us, which is really nice.
- This is Super Dungeon Explorer. This is an interesting game because um it's obviously very influenced uh by Miniatures and it's made by a company that makes primarily Miniatures but it's attempting to sort of bridge the gap between miniatures games and the board games.
- For example, that's 80 pages of rules, whereas this has about 20 pages of rules, so it's a little more manageable that way.

Thematic elements

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- character abilities — Each hero has unique abilities that can be activated, such as Cole's ability to roll an extra die or the Deep Root Druid's automatic plus-one to its will.
- Dice rolling — Used for movement, attacks, and ability checks. Dice results (stars, hearts, potions) determine success and grant resources or inflict damage.
- Health tracking — Wounds are tracked on heroes and monsters to indicate damage taken. Monsters have armor values that affect damage received.
- initiative — Determines turn order, with ties generally going to the heroes. Starfire's will roll is used for initiative.
- Loot System — Defeating monsters grants loot, which can include items like the 'Rune of the Panther' that provides an additional die.
- Monster activation — Monsters activate based on 'skulls' and 'monsters left on the board', and their actions are dictated by their specific abilities like Rex's swamp attack.
- Status Effects — Effects like 'fragile' require discarding high rolls, while 'poison' and 'slow' can hinder heroes. 'Fire' is a special ability that inflicts damage and is applied by monsters and Starfire.

Quotes (from this video)
- the kids have not been deciding what to do for the heroes we've been asking you guys to help us
- those were styles are done and over with so that means the kids will be taking full control of the characters again
- it's hard to keep wounds on these heroes you guys keep rolling the hearts getting the loot
- that is actually something that was put in the FAQ and errata that was released you won't find that in the in the official rulebook
- we actually don't get to reroll because ties always go to the heroes huh
- you guys may decide that you want the deep root Trude to go first if that's what you vote in the YouTube comments then that's what we'll go for

- hi welcome back to watch it played
- I think I'm going to classify all those under the heading of Filler episodes
- we do have some games that we refer to as filler games usually we mean these are more relaxed casual or shorter games that happen between some of the bigger and more involved games
- very kind of them to have me on their show
- on watch it played we don't do reviews but since I was in their house for a little while we followed by their rules so did a review of that game
- The first scenario in this game is a very good introductory scenario although it is incredibly difficult for the Space Marines to win
- I have only won this scenario once in the many times that I've played it
- my plan here is that the viewers The Playmakers will be controlling the space screens along with my help I'll be doing the dice rolling and taking any actions that you can't take that might be required during the actual gam playay video
- well listen if I'm going to keep these as short Filler episodes then I need to wrap this up now before it gets any longer
- I really really appreciate is that everyone whether they're liking something that we do or maybe expressing something they don't like about what we're doing everyone has been so kind and so civil in how they're expressing themselves
- it makes me incredibly proud of the gaming community that I'm a part of and that you guys are are watching our series and want to be a part of what we're doing
- I just felt like I need to express that one more time just how much you make what we do all the more fulfilling because of how kind you are to us

- So, I apologize for any confusion, but those guys really kind to help us out and I wanted to make sure that their right information was what stayed on YouTube.
- So, in fact, only one wound should have been healed no matter how many different targets were hit.
- All the heroes the he the healing ability which means then wounds would take two wounds would come off of your heart rolled.
- So, the deep root is going to be attacking now.
- So, that's not enough to wound.
- Okay, thankfully I do get to inflict a wound on Andy and Cola as well as the cold effect.

Quotes (from this video)
- I feel very confident that she would not have wasted that Luna meter on a he or she knew she can heal with that potion.
- During gameplay players make bad choices right so should you get a chance to go back and fix those kind of things just because we're in a video setting I actually believe we should be able to because I know my daughter I know that she would have made the right choice unfortunately she forgot about the potion because of well it just happens we were shooting video here we're changing camera angles we're talking about different things and so sometimes those obvious things slip our mind so I feel very confident we were sitting around the table playing that's certainly not something she would have missed she would have had her other fellow players to help her a reminder as well so I have no problem whatsoever that she wanted to use the potion to completely heal the druid and then discard that lute card to take a status effect off of one of the other heroes so we talked about it she would definitely have to be able to use it to remove a status effect from the royal paladin who's going to be activating next that makes sense to me hopefully you guys are cool with that
- Out of sight out of mind.
- I'm gonna roll two blue die right now separately and see what would have happened.
- Oh man this is distressing uh hopefully what this means is I've gotten all of my bad luck my system for now and the rest this episode it's gonna be great probably not because I'm playing his Luke who rolls like a champion How about we listen to that theme music that always cheers me up
- I've gotten all my bad dice rolling behind me it's gonna be good
- Oh three stars there's a chance three stars and notice two hearts so if he hits oh that's gonna be bad
- I told you the bad dice rolls behind me I got that completely out of my system
- Oh finally okay so that means I am gonna be inflicting a wound and giving the royal paladin the fire status effect
- You saw here folks six I gotta say I really thought with that extra green dye Luke was gonna put three hits on me this turn that would have meant he would have had only one heart left he could take but now Rex might actually live through this round
- I've been having a real struggle deciding what to do because of course I want to be able to get Rex in here and do some damage with him before he goes because he can only take three more hits and he's toast and of course when a kid goes there's a chance she'll go after Rex and try to finish him off and even if she doesn't finish him off with her three attacks if she gets enough potion she'll have two more actions they have another two shots at taking care of Rex so I would like to use him of course the only problem is he can stand up to the against attacks a lot better than my little guys and so if I don't use them now I'll never get to use them either so I'm thinking I'm thinking that I will use my iron scale my whelp here as well as my flinger that will allow me to do four potential attacks against a hero whereas Rex I can only do three potential attacks let's see if this works out I'm gonna start by bringing my whelp up and attacking the royal paladin get ready Luke one two three four five and six and my whelp gets to attack he normally has two blue and one red but I also get an additional blue so let's hope that I roll big here oh pretty big I got three four five six stars Luke
- you didn't just match it you beat it seven stars just well I think just my thing cuz look here's anything that would have been awesome about that time the the whelp has knocked down so I'm gonna knock the hero down as but I'm not done and of course I still have my flinger it's gonna attack as well and he's gonna use the hotpot ability which allows me to add an extra blue dye to my decks and if it hits it adds the status effect of fire so let's see if this can be a hit alright this time I got four stars pretty good role for a flinger let's see what you roll it
- I forgot to give the royal paladin the cold ability last time so just add that on there and because the iron scale has two actions I'm gonna attack again so look if you don't mind removing your dice and their roll oh it was a bad one one star so I need Luke to roll zero stars that wasn't gonna happen okay so that attack doesn't land and then with one of my movement I'm just gonna move him one space over here so that he's not adjacent to the other coal balls in case a deeper druid decides to do one of those burst attacks again and I'm just realizing you might not be able to see this diet was a two star well once again mr. Smith does a bunch of fantastic dice roll which you or we know which mr. Smith I'm talking about this mr. Smith you know I actually had a couple of decent rolls in there but still wasn't enough to do the kind of damage that I wanted to do to these heroes mind you I still have the drag on the table and he gets to attack twice he just activate twice so if it wasn't for that I'd be a lot more concerned although I am concerned I still have Rex on the table as well but if Andy and cola takes the swing at him he can be gone before I even get a chance to using do you think it was a mistake for me not to use in this turn do you think I should have used them do you think I should have used Rex this turn tell me why do you think I should have but you know what we're gonna leave it here for now when we come back and you'll be joining me again Andy and Kolby taking their turn and it'll be back to you guys again so until then thanks for watching

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Area of Effect Attacks — Some attacks affect multiple targets or areas. Examples include Wave (affects all spaces centered on the user), Sweep (targets all adjacent models on one side), and Burst (affects the target and any model within one space of the target).
- augment — Augment is a keyword that indicates an ability targets friendly models. For example, Candy and Cola's Vending Machine special action is an augment, allowing her to give potions to other players within range.
- Aura — An aura is an ability that surrounds a model, affecting other models within a certain range. For example, the Royal Paladin's Iron Halo ability has an aura of three, granting a plus one blue die to armor value for friendly models within that range.
- Dungeon Effects — These are effects that are in play from the beginning of the game. An example is 'Born of Fire', which applies the fire status effect to heroes adjacent to a spawning point and grants an additional potion type.
- Heroes and Abilities — The game features different heroes, each with unique abilities, special actions, and potion effects. Players can choose which hero to play based on their abilities. Examples discussed include Candy and Cola, Royal Paladin, Claw Tribe Barbarian, Deep Root Druid, Ember Mage, Glimmer Dusk Ranger, Hearthsworn Fighter, Hex Cast Sorceress, and Riftling Rogue.
- Potions — Potions are items that players can use to gain various benefits. While the model must spend the potion tokens, any hero can be the target of the potion's effect. Examples include Soothing Soda (immune to status effects), Elixir (heal three), Remedy (remove all status effects), Fury's Blood (plus one blue die to armor rolls with backlash), White Mage Potion (augment wave five, heal one), Firewater (plus one blue attack die and fire), Pixie Dust (plus one blue die to dexterity and stealth), Hero's Bomb (take damage of an ongoing attack), and Dimensional Drop (teleport).
- special actions — Heroes have special actions that can be performed by spending action points. These actions provide various benefits or effects. Examples include Vending Machine (remove a potion counter from Candy's card and place it on a target's card), Iron Halo (gives a plus one blue die to armor value for friendly models within an aura), Rage (allows barbarian to do a melee attack each time it moves a square), Strangle Thorn (magic attack that gives slow status effect), Brier Armor (gives backlash ability), Firewave (wave one range attack), Magma Strike (adds plus three will to magic attacks), Herbalist (gives remedy effect), Sparkle Burst (burst one attack), Dwarven Curse (wave three pull three attack vs will), Cleave (sweep one dangerous attack), Frozen Feet (gives cold status effect), Hobbled Hands (gives weak status effect), Broken Bones (gives fragile status effect), and Bear Charge (plus one red die to attacks and applies knockdown).
- Status Effects — Status effects are bad ongoing things that happen to characters. Examples include bind, choke, cold, fire, fragile, immobile, knockdown, pacify, poison, slow, stunned, and weak. These effects can alter a character's abilities, movement, or cause them to take damage.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Action points — Models have action points to perform actions like attacking, using special abilities, or opening treasures. Movement and actions can be interspersed.
- Adventure Tracker — Tracks the Loot Meter and Power Gauge. Advancing the Loot Meter grants loot cards, while advancing the Power Gauge allows for spawning of stronger monsters and eventually the boss.
- Character Stats — Models have stats like Speed, Action Points, Will, Attack, Armor, Dexterity, and Hearts, which determine their capabilities and dice rolls.
- Dice rolling — Used for initiative, attack, and defense rolls. Different colored dice (blue, red, green) have different probabilities of rolling stars, hearts, or potions.
- Loot and Treasure Cards — Heroes collect loot and treasure cards that can be equipped for ongoing effects or discarded for immediate benefits like healing, removing status effects, or gaining potions.
- Modular board — The dungeon map is built using double-sided tiles, with players alternating placing tiles to construct the play area.
- Monster spawning — Monsters are spawned by the console player from spawning points, with limits based on 'skull' values. Spawn points can be destroyed.
- Status Effects — Ongoing effects like 'fire' or 'poison' that can be applied to models, denoted by tokens. These can be removed through certain actions or card effects.

Quotes (from this video)
- and where possible we put a seat at the table just for you so that between episodes you can help us decide what we should do next
- this game is themed As a Dungeon Crawler in a video game style
- The console then has to choose a dungeon boss and a mini boss
- The heroes also get one potion token each which they can place on their card and we'll talk more about potion tokens later on
- any square that touches another Square even on a corner is considered adjacent The Only Exception is if a wall or obstruction is blocking
- so successful attacks no matter how many stars are showing only inflict one wound to the defender
- You can only have one piece of equipment of a color attached to any one side
- The Power Gauge also advances one space anytime hero inflicts a wound but also one space anytime a monster inflicts a wound
- if the heroes can defeat the dungeon boss they win the game
- and you guys are going to be taking on the role of the third hero

Quotes (from this video)
- We forgot that that's something you could have healed when you rolled those additional hearts.
- So, think of it like in a video game, those old style video games when you would hit the monster and then a heart or potion would pop out of it.
- And dad can finally say he's won one of these games. It's been a while.
- A constant and perpetual reminder of her failure.
- So, you can win your own your very own Andy and Cola.

Quotes (from this video)
- Dice are not the answer in a first-time design.
- They are toxic. They destroy your first designs.
- Meaningful interesting decisions… the decisions have to mean something.
- Even if you have all sorts of other unique stuff going on in your game that roll for combat just overwhelms it.
- Monopoly has a bit of both, chaotic, entertaining momentarily but ultimately frustrating.
- Event decks can be devastating to your design if they wipe out progress or resources.
